Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Raise Canbus Box RZ-VW58. This device is designed to integrate with Android car radios in various VW, Skoda, and Seat vehicles, enabling communication between the car's systems and the aftermarket head unit.

Compatibility: Fully compatible with all VW, Skoda, and Seat cars, except for 2008-2010 Lavida, 2011-2017 Touareg, and 2003-2010 Touareg models.

Setup and Installation

The Raise Canbus Box RZ-VW58 facilitates the connection between your vehicle's existing wiring harness and an aftermarket Android car radio. Proper installation ensures full functionality of steering wheel controls, door status, air conditioning information, and other vehicle data on your new head unit.

1. Wiring Connection

Connect the Canbus box and wiring harness to your Android car radio and vehicle's electrical system. Ensure all connectors are securely seated.

2. Canbus Version Update (if necessary)

It is crucial to ensure your Android car radio's Canbus software is up to date for optimal performance and compatibility.

1. On your Android car radio, navigate to the 'Settings' menu.
2. Look for an 'Updates' or 'System Information' section.
3. Select 'Check for Updates' for the Canbus. If a new version is available, follow the on-screen prompts to update.
4. Verify that the 'Current Version' is the latest available.

3. Protocol Setting

If the Canbus box version is not automatically detected or if you experience issues, you may need to manually set the protocol:

1. From the main menu, go to 'Car Info' or 'Settings'.
2. Select 'Protocol Setting'.
3. You will be prompted to enter an administration password. If you do not have this, please contact your seller.
4. After entering the password, a list of compatible vehicle models will appear.
5. Select your specific vehicle model from the list (e.g., Peugeot 408, 308, etc.). The system will then restart.

Note: The video demonstration shows a Peugeot model list, but the product is for VW, Skoda, and Seat. The principle of selecting the correct model from the list remains the same.

Operating Instructions

Once the Canbus box is correctly installed and configured, your Android car radio should seamlessly integrate with your vehicle's systems.

Steering Wheel Control Learning

To enable or customize your steering wheel controls:

1. After the system restarts (following protocol setting), navigate to the 'Steering Wheel Learning' or 'Steering Wheel Key' application on your Android car radio.
2. The screen will display various functions (e.g., Volume+, Volume-, Mode, Power, Navi, Radio, etc.) and options like 'Short press', 'Clear', 'Save'.
3. Select the function you wish to assign (e.g., 'Volume+').
4. Press and hold the corresponding button on your vehicle's steering wheel. The system should detect the input.
5. Repeat for all desired functions.
6. Once all buttons are assigned, select 'Save' to store your settings.

This process allows you to control your car radio's functions directly from your steering wheel, enhancing convenience and safety.
